Please note that this is only the BULLET, which is the projectile. The CARTRIDGE (case, primer, powder, bullet) of the two are different size, shape, design and weight. There also is the .45 Colt bullet (often referred to as a .45 Long Colt). This is about the same diameter as the .45 auto but has a longer cartridge than the .45 auto or 38 Special.
